9. Slap side of barrel in front of lock. This assures that powder will fully

enter the nipple and breech mechanism.

NOTE: At this point, the Loading Sequence varies depending on the type

wad or projectile you’ve chosen. Turn to the section appropriate for

your sequence to continue the Loading Sequence procedure.

FOR INDEPENDENT WADS

Continuation of Steps 1 through 9 of the

Loading Sequence, as previously listed.

10. Insert a “reminder” wad partially into the

muzzle of the barrel NOT being loaded.

11. Set the hammer at half-cock to allow any

trapped air to escape out the nipple. To do

so will insure that the over-powder wad

seats directly on the powder.

12. With your thumb, press one over-powder

wad down the bore as far as possible.

CAUTION: Do not pour a powder charge directly form a horn or flask. If a

smoldering ember is present, it could ignite the powder in the container,

as well as that of the powder charge as it is poured into the barrel. This

excessive amount of blackpowder could cause a dangerous explosion.

Therefore, be safety minded, use a small measuring device.
